Australia day theme

 

We are still enjoying the new themes each week at Kids on the Rock preschool.

This week we celebrated Australia day.

Everyone brought in Aussie icons and books to read, we had an amazing collection of books, songs and kangaroos, wallabies, koalas and kookaburras.



Our favourite tale was Wombat stew told with all the ingredients found at the preschool. We looked at the music, the map and states of Australia, the currency and the flora and fauna.

Then we had some fun with the flags with games and activities. Our favourites were soccer obstacle course around the flags and then some maths by counting the flags as well as using our times tables to add all the stars together.
 
 Being clever little Vegemite's, we made some Damper and then had to decide whether to put golden syrup or Vegemite on while it was still warm from the oven. It was yummy no matter what.
Another stamp for our preschool passports.
 Happy Australia day!
